West Ham United are yet to make a decision on the future of David Moyes with doubts growing among supporters.

David Moyes, Manager of West Ham United looks on prior to the Premier League match between West Ham United and Stoke City at London Stadium on April 16, 2018 in London, England.

Apathy and anger greeted West Ham‘s decision to replace sacked Slaven Bilic with David Moyes back in November.

But the Scot impressed many of his doubters with his bullish attitude and hunger to prove a point in East London.

The Hammers were in the relegation zone on just nine points when Moyes took over and now sit 14th on 35 points and in all likelihood just one more win from securing their Premier League safety.

Reports have suggested co-owners David Sullivan and David Gold would reward the former Manchester United boss with a longer-term deal if he keeps the East Londoners up.

But many supporters are far from convinced and vented their frustrations at his negative approach to Monday night’s 1-1 draw at home against relegation rivals Stoke.

West Ham fans feel the club needs to reinvent itself from the ground up and find its own niche in the modern game after the move to the London Stadium failed to elevate them to the next level.

And while their biggest issue remains with the owners, those fans don’t feel Moyes is the man to do it.

So Sullivan and Gold should reignite their interest in Spanish manager Unai Emery, who looks to be on his way out of Paris Saint Germain at the end of the season.

According to widespread reports, Emery – who made his name winning three consecutive Europa League titles with Sevilla – will be replaced by Thomas Tuchel in Paris this summer, as reported in the likes of The Daily Mail.

Emery turned down the Hammers when they were looking to replace Sam Allardyce in 2015, as reported by Sky Sports at the time.

West Ham would not have to pay to snare Emery as his contract is up this summer and managing a big Premier League club in London that is looking to reinvent themselves could appeal to the 46-year-old.
